Everything you need to know about running and life and any other random crap I find bouncing through my mind like a ping pong ball. And always be sure your shoes are happy.

Putting the fun in functional.

Then I have to stretch, use the roller, use the racquet ball, do some exercises.

I’m lying. I never do that.

Sh*t. Our Lady Queen of Pain might read this.

YES, I do that every day.

Brush my teeth. Every day I have to brush my teeth. Someone needs to invent self-cleaning teeth.

Then I have to check out FB, of course, and post to the MRTC page. Which I can’t do today because apparently the gods of FB are not allowing administrators to post to FB every Thursday that falls on September 27th. So, if you’re reading this blog, YES you can get your shirts at every race now through the last 1/2 marathon.

OH, my gosh look at those cute kittens!

Seriously, that’s cute. They look like mobsters patrolling their area.

Get the newspaper. This is always an exercise in frustration. If frustration burned calories I’d weigh 100 pounds. I force myself to read the editorials and the op-eds. The dog sees me sit down at the table with the paper and he runs for the door, “let me out, PLEASE!” Apparently pounding the table and muttering “are you a freeking IDIOT!? I vote YES you are!” irritates him. I’m just guessing, but he does seem desperate.

Either that or he disagrees with my politics. Yet, I continue to feed and house him. I think he’s a Democan. But he might be a Republicrat.

This could also explain why hubs leaves the house early every day to “work out” … hmmm …

The cat doesn’t give a sh*t and just wants to eat my shoelaces. While I’m wearing the shoes. And trying to walk. And dammit, there I go. Tripped up again.

Then she hauls a$$ and hides in the 2″ space under the couch while I cuss.

Look what an anonymous friend gave me:

Why did she think of me when she saw it?

I’ve used her several times already. And, why do I immediately think she’s female? This could be a male dammit doll.

Nah.

Every time I slam her head on the desk DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT, afterward I straighten her hair and kiss her. Sorry, Dammit Doll, you were born into a life of pain and sorrow.

Neither of you two Faithful Followers of my World Famous Blog will believe this, but sometimes I have to work.

WTH that’s about, I do not know.

Ok, I’m back, sorry – had to play some Spider Solitaire. Damn game. I’m at like, 32% win rate. The rule is, you have to play until you win. Then when you win a game, you seem to think that can happen again, but it doesn’t, it can’t, there’s some quantum mechanics that could explain why but I still can’t figure out why mechanics are quantum, so now you’re stuck in the endless loop of playing until you win a game….and there’s no way to cheat on that damn game. Yet, I continue to return. It’s like when you get a piece of popcorn stuck in your tooth and it hurts. Then you finally get it out, but you keep putting your tongue where it hurt even though that hurts. And each time you think, this time it won’t hurt. Because? You’re an idiot?

Speaking of mechanics that are quantum, I posted this yesterday and tagged my daughter, since we’re both math inept past multiplication:

So T1 almost immediately posts, “Shrodinger’s Cat, right?”

WTH??????

Why, yes, Mr. Google reveals, that is, indeed, Shrodinger’s equation. Now it’s no longer funny because I didn’t know that and I thought not knowing that was funny because NO ONE would know it. But, no. The Misters Smart A$$es read the damn books in high school.

I’m not burning off enough energy every day.

Can you tell?

I should ride my bike, but I have to make myself do it. I have to ride nearly twice as long to burn the energy I use running and frankly, it’s boring. I guess it’s like when you start running and it’s not as much fun as other people make it look. They all look like they’re glowing and model for Vogue while you’re slogging along, red-faced and sweating like a pig at a ham eating contest.

No, it’s really not. When I started running I liked it. I wanted to do it. Not that I don’t like biking, I do like it OK. It’s like broccoli. I like broccoli. I just don’t want to eat it every day. Running is like chocolate.

omg….spider solitaire! If I had a dollar for every hour I have wasted playing that damn game! Why….I’d be rich…and I’d have a new mountain bike…a shiny red one…and some new running kit since everything I have now is falling off…is that a good thing, or a bad thing? Kisses to Chunk and Buster for keeping you on your toes….lol….

Okay “like a pig at a ham eating contest” has had me laughing continuously since I read it. I will probably come back and read it several more times today to avoid shrieking uncontrollably from work related frustration.
